  • the system 100 interfaces with the vehicle operator/driver 108 .
  • the driver 108 While operating the vehicle, the driver 108 is engaged in a number of different actions, such as, but certainly without limitation, applying the accelerator or brakes, turning the steering wheel, checking blind spots, adjusting the radio, receiving a cellular telephone call, obtaining navigation information, carrying on a conversation with a passenger, quieting the kids in the rear seat, etc.

  • the system 100 operates continuously taking in data and re-timing its presentation to the driver.
  • the system 100 continuously evaluates the information to be provided to the driver to determine when and how to best provide it to the driver. This operation of the system 100 may be illustrated by an additional example.
  • a low fuel alert may initially be a non-critical piece of information relative to current driving conditions but may become a critical piece of information if the driver is about to pass the last gas station, as system 100 is informed by the on-board navigation system, within the remaining range of the vehicle.
  • a number of interfaces exists between the driver 108 and the vehicle and hence to the system 100 .
  • Various interfaces are discussed below, and may include driver identification 200 , instrumentation and alerts 202 , vehicle controls 204 , driver condition sensors 206 and driver activity sensors 208 .
  • the driver identification interface 200 may be configured as a personal portable user interface (PPUI).
  • PPUI personal portable user interface
  • a PPUI may exist in many forms, but in essence captures preference, performance and habit data associated with a particular driver.
  • the PPUI may be encoded on a smart card or embedded in the vehicle to be activated by a fingerprint reader, voice recognition system, optical recognition system or other such means.
  • the PPUI may function as a security system granting or limiting access to the vehicle or the vehicle's ignition system, and bars access to unauthorized persons or disables the vehicle when an unauthorized person attempts to drive the vehicle.
  • the PPUI may also capture driver preferences as it relates to a number of active safety features.
  • the driver may select what types, under what conditions and how alerts are communicated. For example, a driver may prefer to receive an alert each time the system 100 detects too short a headway relative to a speed of travel. For another driver, a high level of alert might be perceived as a nuisance resulting in the alerts being ignored and/or the system 100 being disabled.
  • a driver may wish to have immediate access to all in-coming cell phone calls, while another driver may wish to have only certain calls put through.
  • the PPUI as part of the driver identification interface 200 permits each operator of the vehicle to establish choices ahead of time.
  • the PPUI may also function in a driver performance improvement and/or driving restriction enforcement tool.
  • the PPUI may be used to monitor driving performance and report to a traffic enforcement authority. This would allow a habitual traffic offender to retain driving privileges in a court-monitored fashion. Driving performance may be recorded for subsequent review, and a method of improving driver performance is described herein. Additionally, the PPUI may be used to implement controls on the usage of the vehicle. For example, a parent may restrict the distances and locations a vehicle may be taken or the hours of the day the vehicle may be operated by a newly licensed driver. An employer may monitor the driving habits of its fleet drivers.
  • the instrumentation and alerts interface 202 is used by the system 100 to inform, advise and in the appropriate situations alert and warn the driver 108 .
  • the instrumentation and alerts interface 202 may include visual, audio, haptic or other suitable indicators.
  • Visual indicators may include gages, lighted indicators, graphic and alphanumeric displays. These visual indicators may be located centrally within the instrument panel of the vehicle, distributed about the vehicle, configured in a heads-up-display, integrated with rearview and side view mirrors, or otherwise arranged to advantageously convey the information to the driver 108 .
  • the audio indicators may be buzzers or alarms, voice or other audible alerts.
  • the haptic alerts may include using the chassis control system to provide simulated rumble stripes, pedal or steering wheel feedback pressure, seat movements and the like. The actuation of any one or more of the indicators or alerts is controlled by the system 100 in order to synchronize the timing of information as it is provided to the driver.
  • the vehicle controls interface 204 includes the primary controls used by the driver to operate the vehicle. These controls include the steering wheel, accelerator pedal, brake pedal, clutch (if equipped), gear selector, etc. These controls may include suitable position and/or actuation sensors and may further include at least in the case of the accelerator pedal, brake pedal and steering wheel rate of input and/or force of input sensors. Additional sensor data may include yaw rate of the vehicle, wheel speed indicating vehicle speed and traction, tire pressure, windshield wiper activation and speed, front and/or rear window defogger activation, audio system volume control, and seat belt usage sensors.
  • the driver condition interface 206 utilizes various sensors to infer driver condition. For example, an alert driver continuously makes steering corrections to maintain the vehicle in its lane. By monitoring steering wheel sensors, the system 100 gathers data about the frequency and amplitude of the corrections to infer if the driver has become impaired. Speed sensors may also be queried in a similar manner. Video or other imaging sensors provide direct measurement of the drivers' condition via monitoring of such criteria as driver blink rate and gaze.
  • the driver activity interface 208 utilizes various sensors and imaging technology to determine the activity of the driver. That is, to determine if the driver, in addition to operating the vehicle, is adjusting the radio or heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) controls, initiating or receiving a wireless communication, receiving navigation information, and the like.
  • HVAC heating, ventilation and air conditioning
  • sensors may include seat pressure sensors to determine the number of passengers in the vehicle, and the activities of the passengers and video or other imaging technology to observe the driver's movements.
  • the sensor fusion module 102 receives all of the various sensor inputs, including those measuring vehicle condition, driver condition, driver activity and operating environment (e.g., weather, road and traffic conditions), and produces a set of conditions or master condition list.
  • the conditions represent the current discrete state of each thing the sensor fusion module 102 is monitoring.
  • the speed condition may be in one of the following states at any point in time: “stopped,” “slow,” “normal,” “fast,” and “speeding.”
  • the states are determined based upon learned thresholds between the states and based on history and known good practices.
  • Fusion of sensor data, including data relating to the driver's condition and activity allows the system 100 to operate to assess driver performance.
  • the system 100 is operable to identify a driver through the driver identification interface 200 .
  • the system 100 monitors several aspects of driver performance to arrive at a driver performance assessment value.
  • Additional information that may be taken into consideration to assess driver performance includes application of the accelerator and brakes.
  • the driver's use of the accelerator and brakes is recorded and given a numeric value. Again, using comparison algorithms to known “good habits” and to past performance an assessment of how smoothly the driver is braking and/or accelerating may be made as well as the number and severity of panic stops.
  • Accelerator and brake pedal data may also be used in conjunction with metrics of headway maintenance, as monitored by the system 100 . Doing so allows the system 100 to determine whether the driver is waiting too long to brake relative to obstacles in the forward path of the vehicle and even to determine whether the driver is prone to unsafe headway when vehicle speed control devices are used.
  • Communication of performance improvement information may be made real time; however, to avoid creating further distractions for the driver, the information may be stored and communicated to the driver following a driving activity. Triggering events and/or thresholds may be used to actuate delivery of the performance improvement messages. Alternatively, the driver may optionally select to activate the interface.
  • the stored performance information may also be downloaded from the vehicle and used as part of a classroom or simulator-based continuing training program, a driver skills assessment program or a traffic enforcement program.
  • the feedback may be configured to appeal to particular categories of drivers. For example, for younger drivers, pre-recorded messages using the voices and likenesses of motor racing personalities may be used to convey the information, while for other drivers pre-recorded message using well known and trusted personalities may be used.
  • the system 100 may generate messages using speech synthesis.
  • the system 100 synthesizes and prioritizes all incoming information, including cellular telephone calls.
  • the system 100 may provide two potential cut-offs of cellular telephone calls to a driver without completely prohibiting calls.
  • the caller is informed, by a pre-recorded message, that the call is being completed to a person presently driving a vehicle.
  • the caller is then given the option of having the call sent directly to voice mail or putting the call through to the driver.
  • the system 100 evaluates the situation, conditions and the driver's cognitive load to determine if the response, sending the call through, is appropriate. If the system 100 determines that the potential for driver distraction is beyond certain desired limits, e.g., the required driver cognitive load will exceed a threshold, the incoming call may be held and/or automatically transferred to voice mail with an appropriate pre-recorded message.
  • the system 100 may also be adapted to take “corrective” action in the event that an on-going call is coupled with a degradation of driving performance. If after accepting a cellular telephone call the system 100 determines that the driver's cognitive load has increased beyond a threshold level and/or if there is a degradation in driving performance below a threshold level, the system 100 may automatically suspend the cellular telephone call. In such instance, a message is provided that informs the caller they are being temporarily placed on hold. The system 100 may also offer the caller an option to leave a voice mail message. Additionally, so that the driver is aware of the call interruption, an appropriate message is provided to the driver indicating that the call has been placed on hold. The driver likewise may refer the caller to voice mail.
  • the driver's preferences as to cellular telephone usage is provided to the system 100 via the driver identification interface 200 .
  • the system 100 may also operate with other wireless communication devices including personal digital assistants (PDAs) and pagers for receiving email and text and data messages.
  • PDAs personal digital assistants
  • pagers for receiving email and text and data messages.
  • a stand-alone cellular telephone that may not be adaptable to the system 100 , may be adapted to operate in a context aware manner.
  • the sensor fusion module 306 receives the data from the various sensors and creates a master condition list that is communicated to the processor 302 controlling the operation of the cellular telephone.
  • the processor 302 operates in accordance with a control program stored in the memory 304 and using the master condition list to provide context aware operation of the cellular telephone 300 .
  • Context aware operation of the cellular telephone 300 can be illustrated by the following examples.
  • the cellular telephone is determined to be moving at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour (kph). This condition is reported by the sensor fusion module 306 as part of the master conditions list to the processor 302 .
  • the processor 302 infers from this speed condition that the cellular telephone is with a driver of a vehicle, and thus enters a service state where incoming calls are screened.
  • One form of screen is as described above, wherein the caller is first advised that they are calling a driver and offered the option of leaving a voice message.
